Great Kennedy footage
20 October 2012 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I thought the documentary was great, Ethel has had some life. Did learn some things I did not know about the family.

It has great family home movies.

Takes you back in time and made me continue to wonder what if.

If you like Kennedy family history, this will give you some great insight.

My only issue: the mummy and daddy from her children was started to really tick me off, it is nauseating. Seems forced. saying my mother and/or father would have been better! Mummy/Daddy drinking game could be good.....You would be hammered the first half hour!
